Overview

Cordoba, pearl of Andalusia

Cordoba, pearl of Andalusia

Cordoba’s sun-baked streets lead to La Mezquita, a grand mosque-turned-cathedral built when southern Spain lay under Muslim rule. Look up at its imposing tower from the whitewashed Flower Alley or stroll under Moorish arches inside. Stop in the tangled Jewish quarter to sample local Montilla-Moriles wine.

Declared World Heritage Site by UNESCO, Cordoba, the pearl of Andalusia will surely attract you. Lose yourself along the river Guadalquivir and the many parks, mills and terraces in its surroundings. Every parcel of Cordoba’s multicultural History is reflected in countless monuments and museums.

In May, it’s time to look behind the curtain of the facades in the historic centre. Magic is in the air when the contest begins between the most gorgeous patios in town. It is a urban paradise unveiled for all of us.

No wonder that Cordoba, this age old town, was called “Jewel of the World” already during the 10th century.

Doesn’t get better than this | Charles b. | 2015/10/11
"The title says it all. The Ave is a first-class bullet train. Everything was great. The only dark spots are the Raileurope web site and the Renfe automated ticket machines, each of which is just awful. The only realistic way to buy a train ticket in Europe is to a station, take a number, and work with a human when your turn comes. Allow enough time to do this and you'll be find.
BTW you really don't need to buy a 1st class ticket as we did. Tourist was fine and we used that on later trips. Also the complimentary food is not any better than a US airline.

Convenience

Renfe does it well | Mary a. | 2015/10/03
"We dropped the rental car at the Cordoba bus terminal and put our gear in lockers. We took a cab to tour La Mesquita. Picked up our gear and walked across the street to the train station for a fast ride to Madrid. It was all convenient. The service on the train was congenial and helpful. Enjoyed the trip. Would do it again.
"

Excellent service | Desislava s. | 2015/09/23
"The train was very comfortable, very fast, and the trip as a whole was truly value for the money. I would highly recommend Renfe high speed trains to my colleagues and friends travelling in Spain.
